The Star of David is known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David. The shape of it is a hexagram which includes two equilateral triangles. The hexagram has been used as a symbol of Judaism since the 17th Century, which precedents in the 14th and 16th century in central Europe, where The Shield of David was partly used in conjunction with the Seal of Solomon on Jewish Flags. The term “Shield of David” is also used in the Siddur as the title of God of Israel. The hexagram appears occasionally in Jewish contexts as a decorative motif. For example, in Israel, there is a stone with a hexagram from the arch of the 3rd-4th century synagogue in Galilee. Originally the hexagram may have been used as an architectural ornament on synagogues, just like the ones in the cathedral of Brandenburg and Stendal and on the Marktkirche at Hanover. The use of the hexagram in the Jewish context as a possible meaningful symbol as early as the 11th century, inside the decoration of the carpet page of the famous Tanakh manuscript, the Leningrad Context which was dated 1008. The name “Shield of David” was used as early as the 11th Century for the title of God of Israel. The phrase occurs independently as a Divine title in the Siddur, which is the traditional Jewish Prayer book; where this refers to the protection of Ancient King David and the anticipated restoration of his dynastic house. Many people have said that this could be from Psalm 18, which is attributed to David in which God is compared with a shield. In the 17th century, the Shield of David as the hexagram began to represent the Jewish Community generally, when the Jewish quarter of Vienna was formally distinguished from the rest of the city by having a boundary stone having the Christian Cross on one side and the Star of David on the other. By the 18th Century the Star began to represent the Jewish people in both politics and religious contexts. The Star of David can be found on many religious...

...phones to school. It is very reasonable because bringing phone toschool potentially disrupts the learning process. Moststudents use cell phones irresponsibly. They use cell phones to talk to their friend during class time. They also use the calculator and camera features in the class as well. Those potentially lead less concentration in the time of learning and teaching process.
Students go to school to learn and behave fair way. Mobile phones provide a large temptation to cheat in tests. They can communicate to anyone and almost anywhere in the world. Because of the small size of the cell phone, students can send a text quietly and discreetly. The text can go unnoticed anywhere to get help on answering tests, homework, and other class assignment. Learning in school is to behave fair not cheating.
Therefore, schools should ban students from bringing their cell phones. However it should be done fairly. In case of an emergency some student need a call for help, providing easy access to phone is better.
NEVER TRY SMOKING
A lot of people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke,always want to try smoking. They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they want to try. So they ask one of their smoker friends for a cigarette. Admittedly, they firstly can not light it on their own so they ask his friend to do it. Then they inhale that cigarette and smoke occasionally.
Apparently that makes them the born smokers. Now they do smoke fairly...

...CASE: 1 GEORGE DAVID
George David has been CEO of United Technologies Corporation (UTC) for more than a decade. During that time he has received numerous accolades and awards for his performance as a CEO. Under his leadership UTC, a $343 billion conglomerate whose operating units include manufacturers of elevators (Otis Elevator), aerospace products (including Pratt & Whitney jet engines and Sikorsky helicopters), air conditioning systems, and fire and security systems, has seen earnings grow at 10–14 percent annually—impressive numbers for any company but particularly for a manufacturing enterprise.
According to David, a key to United Technologies’ success has been sustained improvements in productivity and product quality. The story goes back to the 1980s when David was running the international operations of Otis Elevator. There he encountered a Japanese engineer, Yuzuru Ito, who had been brought in to determine why a new elevator product was performing poorly. David was impressed with Ito’s methods for identifying quality problems and improving performance. When he was promoted to CEO, David realized that he had to lower the costs and improve the quality of UTC’s products. One of the first things he did was persuade Ito to work for him at UTC. Under David, Ito developed a program for improving product quality and productivity, known as Achieving Competitive...

A worker carries a car bumper in a factory that supplies exterior plastic parts for Volkswagen. European SMEs have more experience in implementing energy-efficiency solutions. Increasingly, their Malaysian counterparts will have to focus on becoming more energy efficient to compete in global markets.

The GREEN talk has been going on for a while now.
But with the government moving to reduce the country’s reliance on subsidies for fuel, energy efficiency and sustainability are becoming important elements for businesses to look into as a means of controlling costs.
The pump price of fuel was recently raised by 20 sen. As a result of this a hike in the cost of almost everything else is expected to follow.
The need for energy efficiency is particularly telling for the small and medium enterprises (SME) given that they don’t always have the economies of scale that larger corporations do.
The rising cost of energy will be a new challenge for SMEs in their quest to stay ahead of the curve in increasingly competitive markets.
Kenmart: Being energy efficient is not just about cutting your cost of energy. It is also about being more productive in using your energy.
“Looking at the current situation, SMEs will need to look at...

...Assignment #4
Hed 116-005
1. Throughout his struggle, David did many things to try and help his survival on a day to day basis. In David's worst of times he would pass the time by fantasizing to help ease his mind and or to block out whatever horrific game his mother wanted to play. " I fantasized i was a prince or a comic book hero", David often would imagine. When David's hunger pains became more than he could bare he resulted to eating "scraps" from the garbage, dog food bowls, and began stealing from grocery stores, school lunches and food from other children's lunch boxes at school. David goes on to say "During the lunch recesses, I stuffed the sandwiches down my throat." David also clung to his father for protection, he believed that his father was his hero, like any small boy; "Father was my only hope, and he did all he could to sneak me scraps of food." In the beginning his father seemed to try and help out but to my surprise David's father's help was short lived, ultimately resulting in more misery from his mother.
2. David lost all respect for his father after the stabbing incident. David's mother stabbed him a little above his stomach area, supposedly not on purpose. After David was stabbed he was told he had thirty minutes to finish the dishes. While trying to accomplish just that David saw his father in the living room reading...

... Question 1a
Not all agreement is a legally enforceable contract, only certain time of agreement with co-hold to the rule of law of contract will become enforceable and such criteria have to be satisfied.
A contract to be legally binding or enforceable must include 4 essential elements as follow:
1) The relevant legal capacity to enter into a contract is the first element despite that there are other 3 existing elements; this is in relation to age and mental condition of the relevant contracting parties.
2) Agreement (Arising that an offer is made and accepted)
3) Consideration - an exchange of some benefit or something of value to the parties, for instance; there is monetary gains for products and services rendered.
4) The parties must have the intention to enter into a legal relationship which is the binding agreement.
The agreement will not stand when one or more components above are not in place.
Offer and Acceptance is generally used to decide whether a legally binding agreement exists between two parties in such traditional approach in contract law.
A contract exists when an offer is accepted (agreement to the terms in it) and is communicated to the offeror by the offeree.
In according to the case of Gunthing v Lynn (1831), the offeror offered to buy a horse “if it was lucky”. The court was held that the offer was unclear for it to stand.
Francis (as “offeror”) and Jim (as “offeree”) that Francis is willing to enter into an agreement...
